6 We focus on clamping torque so should you It really pays off to take a closer look at what happens during a tightening. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. In order to visualize the general concept of a tightening we split the process into three phases: alignment, rundown and clamping. In the alignment phase, the tightening process is initiated, and the screw gently aligned with the joint. In the rundown, productivity is of importance and the screw is quickly tightened. The clamping force is initiated at the seating point, the point where the screw head meets the surface. During all phases, critical Criteria we can measure over time Torque buildup Angle Torque Rundown Key events during tightening factors are controlled and monitored; rotation angle, running torque and clamping torque. With this information actions can be triggered in order to achieve a perfect tightening. And also, of course, in order to abort tightenings where errors such as damaged threads, missing parts and floating screws, would occur. These are all issues that would go undetected if you use conventional clutch screwdrivers. More about that on the page to the right. Seating Clamping Final Torque Clamping Torque The clutch tool will let a floating screw pass Many errors can go undetected when using clutch tools. As long as the final torque is reached, the tool will shut off. Even if, for instance, the tightening results in a floating screw, and your product leaves the assembly line with a built in defect. Resulting in rework, expensive recalls and damage to your brand. Misaligned entry Know when to avoid a clutch tool When it comes to error proofing, all parameters you set for angle and torque is really to control the clamping torque. So why not just control the clamping torque to start with? A clutch tool will shut off when the right tension is reached on the clutch. The relation between the tension and the torque is not consistent for different joints, nor a reliable measurement. So it really says nothing about the clamping torque. And this is a good reason for anyone working with high quality requirements a smart tool! Alignment Angle buildup Broken screw Damaged thread Missing parts It s all about the clamping torque Torque rotates the screw, creating tension that generates clamping force between the components. The best available reference of the clamping force is the clamping torque. This is why clamping torque should be monitored or controlled in any tightening process. Floating screw False comfort The clutch tool has signaled the tightening as OK. But there is no way to know what really happened during the tightening. It's really just guess work.

7 The benefit of knowing it's yours if you want it With the MTF6000 teamed up with ToolsTalk MT you set up and adjust any kind of tightening process to fit your exact needs. This is the fastest and most productive way for you to make sure that your products are assembled with perfect tightenings time after time. Safeguarding you from reworks and expensive recalls. COMMON TO BOTH PROCESSES: The tightening strategy (Pset) is activated, automatically or manually, in this case by a barcode scan. The tightening program (Pset) is loaded into the MTF6000. During the complete process torque and angle is monitored. If they are not within defined limits, the tightening will be aborted and given a NOK status. Every step of the way Two examples of a tightening process. Both utilizing clamping torque in some way. Throughout both processes angle and torque is measured, error proofing every step of the process. At completion, clamping torque and final torque is used to validate that the tightening was successful. PROCESS 1 SEATING CONTROL STRATEGY: MTF6000 controls clamping torque and monitors final torque. When the screw is seated, the MTF6000 detects the seating point, in this case 4 cnm, and adds the predefined clamping torque, in this case 6 cnm. Upon completion, it is verified that final torque is within defined limits, in this case 9-11 cnm. If not, the tightening is signaled NOK. The Seating Control Strategy controls clamping torque which is the key to understanding if the tightening has been made according to plan. True error proofing total comfort When using clamping torque as one of the monitored factors you can rest assured that all your tightenings are done correctly. No "guess work" here. PROCESS 2 TORQUE SEATING MONITORING: MTF6000 controls the final torque and monitors the clamping torque. Final torque is set, in this case to 10 cnm. When the seating point is detected, clamping torque is monitored to make sure it stays within the predefined limits, in this case 3-6 cnm. If the clamping torque stays within the limits, the tightening proceeds until final torque is reached, in this case 10 cnm. If the clamping torque is outside of the limits, the tightening is aborted, making sure that tightenings with insufficient clamping torque are detected. All to assure the clamping the key to a successful tightening.
